I walked down the air conduct, looking back with my mind still filled by those images I had witnessed before.
The sound of tiny footsteps echoed throughout the metal cavity, but my brain wasn't able to process what my ears were listening to.

Why couldn't I stop thinking about her even if she showed that she couldn't care less about me and my life..I thought about this reason for the whole time while I followed my friend passively, until  I bumped against something or someone and I was brought back to reality..

"Are you okay?" Sarah asked me, she must have been able to notice that I wasn't very present mentally at the moment, her expression a bit worried.
"Yes, I am, don't worry about me.." I tried to not make her worry more about me then I looked up to Chloe, who was in front of everyone, right now she could be considered the true leader of our group.

"Why did we stop?" I asked her, a bit confused, after all I had no idea where we were at the moment.
"We arrived!" She said as she lied down on her chest, she started to look through the air grate and, curios about it, I decided to join her.

Sitting on a red couch, there was a lady, long straight black hair and green eyes,who was analyzing nervously the room.
She stood up, she didn't appear to be that tall nor her body was exceptionally fit, she looked to have a pretty average build, at least from up here.

With quick steps, she reached a wooden door, the black skirt and the unbuttoned leather jacket of the same colour she donned on top of it danced with her hips.
She tried to to open it but to no avail, so with a sad expression she went back to her seat.

She crossed her white nylon covered legs, the pink shirt beneath her jacket popped out a bit while she started to dangle her foot impatiently, the black flat that was protecting it came off a bit, around the heel.

"Chloe, I am not imaging it...that is.."
"Yep, that's our Marnie! " Chloe smiled to him and that was the happiest I have ever seen Jake being.
"What do we do now?" Sarah interrupted the magical moment of reunion, indeed now it was time to address the real issue that it would have come sooner or later.

"It's clear to me that she is locked there, unlocking the door shouldn't be too hard but, at the same time, staying together now could become very dangerous, while Marnie could hide two of us, but four may be a bit too problematic for her, so I believe that is where our way will separate!"

With a bit of sadness in my voice I said, we looked into each other's eyes as it seems like the four of  us had both came with the same conclusion.
"I suppose we need to rearrange a place where we could meet once we free her" Chloe addressed me, who was already thinking about such a thing.

"It is clear that a person as big as her can't escape from the air conduct the same way we can do, that's why we need to find another exit for her as we know the windows and the exit doors must have been sealed already, me and Sarah will take care of this search, we are gonna meet in the chemistry lab"

Chloe didn't question any further my choice, and with Jake they started to climb their way down.
"Good luck!" She said before disappearing through the grate.
"The chemistry lab?" Sarah asked, curiosity in her voice, probably because of the peculiar choice I made.

"At some point, if Marnie wants to escape this hell she will have to shrink like us, I know how to do that I believe, that's why it is our priority, right now!"
Without revealing her the fact that I helped Camelia to create the shrinking potion, I explained to her, and with doubt still dwelling her heart she nodded, not questioning me any further.

"Wait though, Chloe was the one who memorized the map, without her.."
"No need to worry about that, the lab happens to be just beneath this place!" I answered her before she could start to worry more than what was needed, then I led the way down to our target.It wasn't very hard, we crawled straight up then down until we arrived in proximity of a grate, in which we slided in.

"OK, now we have to wait just for them to come and.."
As we landed on the floor, the ground beneath us started to shake, giantess footsteps.
I grabbed Sarah's hand, then I dragged her inside one of those cabinets, hiding behind a box.

The door opened, a short female figure entered inside.
Short red wavy hair, green eyes, and a few freckles, tight black shorts to enhance her hips and a loose white short-sleeved shirt, my eyes caught that before they moved to her right hand.

In her palm, a tiny squirming for freedom, I clenched my fists, I wanted to help him so much, but there was nothing I could do but standing here and watching.
"Mhmh, Clara, I believe that is the right place, quite and nice, a good grave for a bitch like you!" We couldn't hear the words of the tiny, she was too far.

"What, you are asking me to spare you?!Mhmh, you didn't spare me when you used to bully me about my look with your stupid friends!" Her voice was filled with anger, she raised her arm and threw the tiny girl against the floor.

"But I suppose I will be gentle nough to give you ten seconds to escape, 10.....9...."
A devilish smile printed on her face, while the tiny Clara started to run toward the exit.
"8....1....0" She laughed, few seconds passed before a black boot covered foot kicked her to the ground and with a quick movement she stomped down her legs..

When she raised her foot, the sticky red meaty mess that stretched from the rubber black sole sent shivers down my spine.
A disgusting, horrifying show but at this point, it didn't have much effect on me, I had saw enough of that.

"Oh shit, I have never been good enough at counting" The giantess started to laugh again, looking down at what we could define now her prey.
"I suppose you must be in a lot of pain now, I could let you die there slowly but I want to be merciful with you, so I will just end you quickly!" She sat down on a table and by running her fingers down her legs, she started to unzip her right boot.

The zipping sound was ominous, and scary was the sound of skin squishing against the leather of that biker boot. It didn't last long luckily as when the zip reached the bottom, her  foot slipped off in very delicate manners.

Her toes, painted of a crimson red, were short and fatty, her sole smooth, in general her foot was pretty small, if I had to guess her size was around a 6, but even like that, considering who was her victim, it couldn't be considered a lesser lethal weapon.

Her face shaped in a devilish grin, as she lowered her foot on the small girl, her head was trapped between her second and third toe, while her torso and arms ended beneath the ball of her foot.
Slowly, the tiny girl started to sink in her skin, until she completely disappeared.The giantess licked her lips with a smack, before blood sprayed from the two sides of her foot.

Accompanied by a fucked up laugh, she started to twist her foot, left and right with angle of 180 degrees, back and forth for at least 5 minutes.
A red semicircle appeared on the floor, getting more visible the more she twisted.

"Oh, Clara, if you had only been nicer to me, this would have never happened!"
She chuckled once again, while wiping her foot a few times on the floor leaving red thick lines behind.

She took a few seconds to admire the mess she made of that girl, her corpse completely consumed, splatted all over the floor.
With an accomplished expression, she slided her bloody foot back in her boot, she zipped it up rather quickly and in the same way she came in, she left.
